“…14,15,31,32 There were no differences in maltreatment as a function of child gender in three studies, 14,31,32 but three others reported that being a boy constituted a risk factor 18,27,34 and another three reported that more girls from immigrant families were involved with CPS. 16,21,22 Two studies reported that children born outside the US and involved with CPS were more likely to be older than those born in the US and involved with CPS.…”

“…12 A Texas-based study reported that Korean immigrant mothers did not favour physical abuse of children but were in favour of physical discipline. 27 Finally, a study conducted in Norway revealed that children of immigrant parents were at higher risk of witnessing domestic violence, which is considered as maltreatment (psychological or emotional abuse) in some CPS. 13 Key question 2: What are the specific risk and protective factors for child maltreatment in immigrant and refugee populations within an ecosystemic framework?…”

“…16,17,22,26 Most parents reported experiencing difficulties because they did not speak the local language. 25,27,32,33 In terms of family structure, the majority of immigrant children involved with CPS lived in two-parent households (mostly with both biological parents), in which the parents were either married or living with a common-law partner. [14][15][16][17][18]22,31,32 Only six studies investigated the link between these characteristics and the likelihood of maltreatment occurring.…”

“…27 Studies have also reported the use of excessive physical discipline 18,22 and having beliefs and practices that approve of excessive physical discipline as additional risk factors. [14][15][16]22,27,31,32 The parents' history of maltreatment as a child was positively associated with an increased likelihood of physical punishment being used with their own children. 34 However, 38% of mothers who did not report a history of maltreatment as a child did use physical punishment with their own children.…”

OBJECTIVES: Study results on child maltreatment based on general population samples cannot be extrapolated with confidence to vulnerable immigrant or refugee families because of the specific characteristics and needs of these families. The aims of this paper are 1) to conduct an evidence review of the prevalence, risk factors and protective factors for child maltreatment in immigrant and refugee populations, and 2) to integrate the evidence in an analytical ecosystemic framework that would guide future research. METHODS:We used a 14-step process based on guidelines from Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and the Canadian Collaboration for Immigrant and Refugee Health. We searched major databases from "the oldest date available to July 2014". The eligibility criteria for paper selection included qualitative or quantitative methodologies; papers written in English or French; papers that describe, assess or review prevalence, risk and protection factors for child maltreatment; and a studied population of immigrants or refugees.SYNTHESIS: Twenty-four articles met the criteria for eligibility. The results do not provide evidence that immigrant or refugee children are at higher risk of child maltreatment. However, recently settled immigrants and refugees experience specific risk factors related to their immigration status and to the challenges of settlement in a new country, which may result in high risk of maltreatment.CONCLUSION: Future research must incorporate more immigrant and refugee samples as well as examine, within an ecosystemic framework, the interaction between migratory and cultural factors with regard to the prevalence, consequences and treatment of child maltreatment for the targeted groups.KEY WORDS: Review; child maltreatment; immigrants; refugees; risk factors; ecosystemic model La traduction du résumé se trouve à la fin de l'article. Une traduction de l'article en entier est disponible sur le site web comme un fichier supplémentaire dans la section "OUTILS DE L'ARTICLE". C hild maltreatment is a worldwide public health concern that is associated with numerous and severe, short-and long-term health and developmental consequences for children.1,2 It is also accompanied by important social and economic costs. 1 Child maltreatment consists of neglect and/or physical, sexual and psychological abuse, including exposure to intimate partner violence. Over the past two decades, increased attention has been given to culture and ethnicity in the field of child maltreatment. Studies and reviews based on ethnic minority samples have certainly been crucial and are highly informative for the promotion of more culturally sensitive practices. However, generalizing their results may be not only inappropriate but also inequitable for immigrant (first and second generations) and refugee populations, as they do not take into account the specific characteristics (e.g., migratory and settlement conditions) and needs of these groups.2,3 Although Western countries, and particularly t...

“…These attitudes are gender-specific but also have elements that are common for both parents (5). Studies have shown that parents, who have attitudes that devalue children and who have positive attitude toward child abuse than who have a negative attitude, are more committed child abuse (6)(7)(8)(9)(10). The number of studies about parents' attitude toward child abuse is very low and these studies investigated parents' attitude toward physical abuse and physical punishment in the most cases and other aspects of it have been less investigated.…”

Background: Attitudes are very important in the formation of behaviors. Parents' attitudes toward children and behaviors with them are the main causes of child abuse. Identifying these attitudes and their related factors can be the primary basic action for prevention of child abuse. Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the parents' attitudes toward child abuse in the health centers of Tabriz. Patients and Methods:In this cross-sectional study 384 parents with children 2 to 12 years old, filled a questionnaire about parents' attitude toward child abuse in the 13 health centers of Tabriz. Data was analyzed using SPSS (version 16.0). Results:The results showed that the mean score of total attitude toward child abuse was significantly higher than the middle (P < 0.001) and was correlated significantly with 'parents' educational level, number of children they have, attendance status and economic status (P < 0.05). Conclusions:The results showed that the parents' attitudes toward child abuse were negative, but because of the relationship between parents' attitudes with some of their demographic characteristics, parents should be supported economically and socially to prevention of child abuse.
